Chapter 595: The Tricky Treasure Ship
Just like the usual fishing trip, fishing operations begin when the fleet arrives at the farthest sea area. After every day, Zhuang Haiyang will order the fleet to move its position, let the fleet start to return to sail, and re-select the new sea area to anchor and rest.
During the fleet's rest, Zhuang Haiyang will also continue to swimmer and practice as usual. As long as the fleet sails, Zhuang Haiyang will basically patrol it. It is difficult to escape its monitoring if there are any wrecks under the nearby sea.
If the valued shipwreck is located in a depth that exceeds the ability of the salvage team, Zhuang Haiyang will adopt violent demolition methods to store the valuable antiques on the shipwreck into the Dinghaizhu space and then use them as their own private collection.
If the treasure salvage company, those collections that have been temporarily retained and not sold, are intended to be the collections of the future private shipwreck museum. Then the collections owned by Zhuang Haiyang are enough to open the largest private collection hall.
Perhaps for Zhuang Haiyang at this moment, he truly realized what Zhao Penglin said that when money earns a certain level, he will regard money as a number. Compared to accumulating wealth, more people still hope to accumulate more collections.
Gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times, even the antiques salvaged from shipwrecks still exist in many top-notch products. Some collections can even be regarded as national treasures. This is why Zhuang Haiyang never thought about taking them out for money.
Compared with other common antiques of shipwrecks, Zhuang Haiyang, Zhao Penglin and others no longer care much. But for other collectors, these antiques of shipwrecks for sale are also good things worth collecting!
Even if he has mental power to scan and find a shipwreck in the sea, he sometimes needs to try his luck. However, Zhuang Haiyang did not expect that when he went to sea for the first time in the New Year, he encountered a shipwreck that made him feel excited and a little tricky.
Standing above the wreck covered by silt, and by scanning the wreck that was buried entirely by silt through mental power, sensing the things on the wreck and the more conspicuous wreck items, Zhuang Haiyang roughly judged which country the wreck was from.
To be precise, this is a sunken warship, and it is naturally not too long before. The things transported on the ship are not as common as domestic porcelain, but a real treasure ship.
"Be good, I'm afraid it's very valuable to salvage the things on this wreck! But these things seem a bit tricky. Even if the wreck is on the high seas, it's hard to transport them back to China without causing a sensation."
Thinking of Zhuang Haiyang, who was here, floated straight out of the water. Through the locator he carried, he quickly confirmed the location of the wreck. Find the position of the fleet anchoring, Zhuang Haiyang headed straight to the cockpit and analyzed it with reference to the chart.
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang returning to the boat in advance, he hurried into the cockpit and took out the chart to think about something. Hong Wei, who followed in, was curious and said, "What happened to Haiyang?"
"Well! When I encounter something that feels tricky, I still need to think about it."
"What a tricky thing? At sea or under sea?"
"It's from the sea! For details, I'll call you to ask for advice. Notify the security team members and prepare for alert!"
"Okay! Do you want to notify the dive team?"
"No! There is no need for a diving team for this matter. Remember, keep this matter confidential! Don't make it easy for the time being."
"good!"
Although he didn't understand the meaning of Zhuang Haiyang's dialect, Hong Wei still firmly implemented the order. The ship security personnel who received the notice also began to cheer up. However, the diving team members did not wait for any notice.
Back in his lounge, Zhuang Haiyang looked at the time and made a call without hesitation. When the phone was connected, the other party asked in confusion: "Hello, who?"
"Old Wang, I am Xiaozhuang, I didn't disturb you to rest, are you? I'm in the offshore now!"
"Oh! Xiaozhuang! I said this number is a bit strange. It was called by satellite phone, right? I'm going to rest! You call so late, I guess something is wrong, right?"
"Yes! Something is something, I want to ask you. If I salvage the treasure ships of other countries that were robbed during the war, then the country will not confiscate the salvaged things, right? Will foreign countries recover them back?"
There have been many controversies regarding the ownership of shipwreck items at sea in recent years. Especially in foreign countries, if the shipwreck company salvages the treasure ship, the country where the treasure ship is located will also ask for ownership. Some countries will also ask for the treasures on the treasure ship.
In short, when it comes to the ownership of a treasure ship, many countries will participate. It is precisely because of this concern that Zhuang Haiyang specially called Mr. Wang to ask for instructions, hoping to understand the relevant situation in advance.
If the shipwreck is salvaged and the country wants to confiscate it, Zhuang Haiyang will choose to salvage it and put it directly into the Dinghaizhu space for preservation. If it really doesn't work, it's good to leave it for descendants as heritage!
Mr. Wang, who was curious about Zhuang Haiyang calling so late, called to ask what happened. When he heard what Zhuang Haiyang asked, he immediately became energetic and said, "Xiaozhuang, what kind of shipwreck have you salvaged?"
"Old Wang, it has not been salvaged yet. In fact, the water level depth of the shipwreck is located has exceeded the limit depth that the diving team can salvage. However, the problem for me is not too big, so I can salvage it.
Through observation of the appearance of the wreck, this should be a light cruiser of the Japanese devils during World War II. I looked at the charts before and where I was, the route that the Japanese devils often sailed back then.
Judging from the shipwreck items found, there are many golden Buddha statues and precious metal jewelry on the ship. Judging from the styles of these jewelry, they should be treasures plundered from the British colonies. The value is too high, and I feel a little guilty!"
As soon as these words were said, Mr. Wang also smiled and said, "You boy is guilty! It seems that the treasures on this shipwreck are beyond your imagination, so you will feel guilty, right? Can you be sure that it is in the high seas?"
"Of course this is OK! Every time my fleet goes to sea, it will not salvage operations in economic waters. I never dare to do anything randomly. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to locate the fleet's location at any time."
"That's not! That's it! If you have the ability to salvage the things on the shipwreck, then salvage them. There's just one thing you have to remember that all salvage processes must be photographed and video-based. Can this be done, right?"
"Yes! But one thing is that I hope this matter can be kept confidential. The reason is that the depth of the shipwreck should be no less than 400 meters. Even if I go into the water, I need to wear heavy diving equipment and then use slings to carry out lifting operations."
"Okay, I will participate in this matter in person! If the value of the things on the shipwreck is too high, the country will definitely not sit idly by. There is one thing I can guarantee that the part that belongs to you will never treat you badly, how about it?"
"If you say this old saying, I can feel at ease. I can donate those unmelted Buddha statues or accessories to the country for research. What I really care about is the melted gold bricks. If I really confiscate it, I will feel very distressed."
"Okay! This matter belongs to your interests, and I will try my best to fight for you. When you return, remember to notify your old army. Since you want to keep it confidential, the fewer people know this matter, the better. I understand what I mean, do you understand?"
"clear!"
After receiving Mr. Wang’s promise, Zhuang Haiyang naturally breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing unexpected happens, the value of the things on the shipwreck will be in units of billions, and it will be a US dollar. After all, the value of the gold bricks is still very high!
After the call, Zhuang Haiyang walked out of the cabin and said directly: "Call the backbone of the diving team over and let them come to Boat No. 1 to stand by. The other diving team members stayed on the boat and acted as warning forces."
"good!"
"Shengjie, notify the other three ships to carry out alert patrols at these three locations. Lao Zhou, your flight team is flying overnight, is it okay?"
"No problem! The situation at sea tonight is relatively safe!"
"Okay! The helicopter takes off first, extending along this location to fifty nautical miles nearby. See how many strange ships are there?"
"I understand! Then I'll prepare first!"
When Zhu Junhong and other backbone of the diving team came to the No. 1 ship one after another, Zhuang Haiyang still said nothing, but handed over the black waterproof bag that he had picked up from the sea to Hong Wei again and handed it over to other security team members.
Seeing that all the weapons were taken out, Zhu Junhong and others were also curious and said, "Ocean, what are the actions?"
"You can't participate in salvage of a shipwreck, but you can't help the field at most and start the battle on the ship. This salvage operation is personally responsible for completing. Don't fight with me. The depth of the shipwreck is more than 400 meters. Can you bear it?"
Just when Zhu Junhong and others wanted to join, they naturally seemed a little stunned when they heard the shipwreck was in the sea area of more than 400 meters. They would feel that they could not withstand it after more than 300 meters, let alone the seabed below 400 meters?
Although I don’t know what kind of shipwreck it was. But judging from Zhuang Haiyang’s cautious attitude, others also know that this shipwreck is probably not simple. The more this happens, the more everyone is full of expectations.
When they saw Zhuang Haiyang dragging out a heavy diving suit, everyone was surprised and said: "Are you wearing this?"
"Otherwise? This salvage process requires retaining video data to prove that our salvage location is in the high seas. If someone sees me and I don't wear anything in the shipwreck, what do you think others will think?"
With this sentence, everyone suddenly understood why Zhuang Haiyang did this. After all, this heavy diving suit was just a disguise. After seeing it, others would only feel that the extreme water pressure he could withstand was very high, not exceeding the limit of human beings.
If you don’t wear anything, in the eyes of others, you will probably regard it as a monster. At least they don’t want Zhuang Haiyang to become a specimen studied by scientific research institutions. Some things are the same as one thing, but they see them with their own eyes.
